All we are...

*A moment of silence*

This community of young writers has grown strong over the past year.
This community has become one.
We write together, we spend hours of our free-time together, we chat together, and we form bonds together.
A year ago from yesterday, I joined this group. It was a small, 2 to 3 page group, with very few members and a few posts a day.
I had no idea what this would become.
I had no idea how large this would end up being.
I had no idea. None of us did.
We had time to read everyone's discussions, everyone's stories.
It has become so large that there is no way that everything can be read, analyzed, and critiqued.
But that's the beauty of this community.
We have thrived as a community. We have prospered at our goals. We have supported each other through hard times.
And the glory of it all is:
We're still growing.
We're still expanding.
Therefore, I have hope that this community will continue to excel. We will continue to become better writers.

I'd like to thank you- you personally, whoever you may be- on behalf of the Young Writer's Group. You have inspired me to do great, wonderful things. You have helped make us our generation's authors. You have made us all the people who we are. We have a power unknown to most people in the world. We have a power to voice our opinions. We have a power to pursue anything. We have a power- the power- to make this world and ourselves a better place.
We have made a difference in empowering everyone here with the resources, the knowledge, and the strength to become amazing people.
We have made a difference, and we will continue to make a difference as long as we continue to practice what we bonded together for in the first place- the magnificent art of writing.

Look at how we began.
We started with two best friends from school.
These, mind you, were young. Not adults wanting to converse about their obsession of writing.
Though I can see us becoming that when we have grown.
They might have to come up with OWD, Obsessive Writing Disorder.
People so connected to the world of words that there will be no way out.
But no matter, that is the future.
Look at how far we've come.
This has become a central community to read writing, and take a glance at other's styles and see if we can add on to our own.
This has become a central community to share writing, and show others our skills and lets us improve.
This has become a central community, and that's who we are.
We stick together,
We defy limits,
and we show the world what we're made of.
We are not a band of adult authors.
We are, for the most part, not a group of people with manuscripts ready to be published.
Yet we thrive to be.
And we will be.
For we are the Young Writers of the 21st century.
We have showed immense dedication to what we know and love.
We are young writers, and that's what we do.
We are the Young Writers Group.
